Notes from: LINDA MAUREGARD
Robert N. Lambertson was reared on the home farm, and in his
youth attended the log cabin subscription schools with their
puncheon floors, slab seats and clapboard roof, in which he
received the rudiments of an education. In April of 1852, he
went to Sangamon County, Illinois, making the journey from his
native county by wagon, he having never even seen a railroad
till that year. Four months later he removed to Peoria, of the
same State, and the following January he went to Stark County,
Illinois. He was married March 11, 1857, to Maria E. Stanley, a
daughter of John Stanley. They have had nine children born to
them - Frank E., Carrie A., William N., Nellie M., James C.,
Charles, Roy and Fannie E.

While living in Illinois Mr. Lambertson worked by the year for
Jacob Emery, for a period of seven years, and for seven years
was engaged in farming of his own account. He left Stark County
in September, 1867, since which he has made his home in Clarke
County, Iowa. On leaving his native State he had but $10.75,
and was obliged to drive a team to defray the expenses of his
passage to Illinois and his board. He has now 440 acres of
choice land, which he has accumulated by his own industry and
persevering energy, and to-day he is classed among the
prosperous citizens of Troy Township. Mrs. Lambertson is a
member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
